In a cast iron
skillet, heat 1-inch of Oil on medium-high heat. One at a time, cook the
Tortillas. Place a Tortilla in the oil and cook until lightly browned and
bubbles are forming in the Tortilla. Flip over and cook until lightly browned
on the other side too. Continue to cook until the Tortilla is somewhat stiff.
Use tongs to remove to a paper towel lined plate and continue the same process
with the other Tortillas. You will need to add more Oil, make sure it heats up
before adding another Tortilla to the pan.
